VideoWall™/CineWall™ Installer/Integrator Manual
Introduction
Runco, the leading brand in luxury video solutions, proudly announces its new
VideoWall™ VW-100HD and CineWall™ CW-95HD in-wall video displays, which offer
custom home theater design and installation professionals new levels of installation
versatility and convenience while achieving full-HD imagery perfection.
Combining the best of front projection’s exceptional image with the aesthetic of a giant
flat-screen display, the VideoWall/CineWall provides a high-performance, in-wall display
solution for rooms of distinction where high ambient lighting conditions exist, but nothing
less than an exceptional Runco cinema experience will suffice.
EL

Y
The VideoWall/CineWall combines an advanced, high-contrast ambient light-rejecting
screen with cinema-grade optics and a powerful display engine in a single, self-contained
system. It is designed for quick and easy installation into a dedicated, framed wall with a
large opening.
The VideoWall/CineWall display engine provides a “Full-HD” (up to 1920 x 1080p) image
with stunning color fidelity, vivid whites, deep blacks and unmatched uniformity.
The VideoWall/CineWall features Runco’s SuperOnyx™ DMD™ chipset with
ConstantContrast™ frame-by-frame contrast correction to provide stellar black levels and
rich color saturation even in bright ambient light viewing. Runco’s exclusive CinOptx™
lens system incorporates O-Path™ light path enhancement for sharp-looking video, while
Vivix II™ internal processing ensures the best video performance.
Two VideoWall/CineWall models are available:
• The Model VW-100HD features a 100-inch diagonal measure, 16:9 screen
(approximately 88.75 inches wide by 50.5 inches high).
PR
• The Model CW-95HD features a 95-inch diagonal measure, 2.35:1 screen
(approximately 88.75 inches wide by 37.88 inches high). The CW-95HD provides
uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, with no black bars above or below the picture.
In addition to wider viewing angles with increased brightness and colorimetry
consistencies, the VideoWall/CineWall provides significant technology and video quality
enhancements when compared to like-sized plasma or LCD products. The system’s
passive cooling allows for virtually silent operation and uses 80 per cent less energy than
comparably-sized flat panels.
The VideoWall/CineWall has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science
Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's
sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been
implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The VideoWall/CineWall
incorporates Runco-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional
scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images
possible.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

Screen Assembly ➤
The Screen Assembly comprises all of the components associated with the screen which
is attached on the outer side of the installation wall. The Screen Assembly is packaged
separately from the Chassis Assembly, to facilitate unpacking and installation.
Southco-type latches at the bottom of the screen secure the screen in the closed
position.
A hinge system is provided at the top of the screen assembly that interfaces to the top
flange of the chassis assembly. This hinge allows the screen assembly to be “hooked”
from the top during initial installation. Two, small retaining brackets attach to the top rear
of the screen frame. These prevent the screen from “hopping” out of the hinge hook and
thus secure the screen.
Y
To reduce the overall depth of the chassis assembly for shipping, the installation brackets
that secure the chassis and screen to the wall are packaged separately. These brackets
are installed at the customer site right before installing the chassis assembly into the wall

VideoWall™/CineWall™ Installer/Integrator Manual
Introduction
Bottom Brackets: The bottom brackets support all of the weight of the chassis
assembly, and provide a pivot point while the chassis is “rotated into” the wall opening.
Once installed, these can be screwed into the wall opening with sheet rock screws.
Top Flange: The top flange locks the top of the chassis into position and stops the
rotation of the chassis as it is being installed. An installation tool is provided to set the
exact distance between the bottom brackets and the top flange, as this is a critical
dimension. Shims can be used along the top of the flange if necessary to compensate for
any wall irregularities.
Y
Bottom and Side Light Blocks: Light blocks at the bottom and sides of the screen
complete the chassis-wall-screen interface. These are installed right before installing the
screen, and minimize stray light leakage from behind the screen.
EL
IM
IN

R
Power Supply: The Power Supply converts incoming 100-240 VAC power to the internal
working voltages required by the lamp ballast, video processor and other system
components. A switch is provided to connect or disconnect the system from the AC
power source.
Cooling Fans: Cooling of the VideoWall/CineWall is accomplished by a combination of
forced air and radiant cooling. The power supply is cooled by its own integral fans.
Cover: The center chamber of the chassis where all the active components are housed is
covered by an interlocked sheet metal cover, secured by several quarter-turn screws.
Removing this cover exposes all the serviceable parts, including the display engine, the
lamp system, the power supply and the interface electronics. This cover is electrically
interlocked so that the lamp and 380V supply cannot be activated while the cover is open.
Air Filter: As mentioned above, the air filter is installed in the plenum at the bottom center
of the chassis. This filter can be accessed and replaced by a service person by opening
the screen and reaching in to replace it. The air filter is Runco part number 379-0012-00.
PR
Fold Mirror: The fold mirror reflects light from the display engine and directs it towards
the screen. This fold mirror is mounted using a three-point mount system. Three large
(5”x5”) mirror mounts and adhesive pads are used along with springs to provide an
adjustable mounting scheme. Four safety catches secure the fold mirror in place, in case
of adhesive failure of the mirror mounts.
The fold mirror is mounted to hat sections on the slant back wall of the chassis. The mirror
is calibrated at the factory, and is not intended to be adjusted in the field.

Site Access ➤
The VideoWall/CineWall requires clean, noise-free AC power. The power cord provided
with the VideoWall/CineWall is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long. In order to use it, the power outlet
must be no more than 48 inches (1.22 meters) from the cable openings on the right side
of the chassis. If the outlet is farther away, substitute a longer power cord for the one
provided with the VideoWall/CineWall; do not use a power strip or extension cord. If you
use a substitute power cord, ensure that it is a UL- or CSA-approved, three-conductor
(18 AWG or heavier), shielded cord rated at 10 amps minimum.
The VideoWall/CineWall is shipped in two containers: one for the screen assembly and
one for the chassis and related hardware. The shipping container dimensions are as
shown below.

Do not store or transport the VideoWall/CineWall on its side! It
should only be placed on its side if absolutely necessary during
loading and unloading.
Here are some other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid
damage, prevent personal injury and prolong operating life:
PR
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in
the display circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the VideoWall/CineWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy
such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
• Handle the unit carefully when installing or carrying it. Use the built-in handles; DO NOT
touch or hold the screen face.
• Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
• Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects.
• Do not hit or scratch the screen surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the
screen.
• DO NOT spray liquid of any kind on the screen. It can drip down the screen and
wick up between the layers. When liquid gets between the screen layers, it is
impossible to remove and the screen is ruined!

Site Preparation
Because every home theater installation is unique, it is impossible to provide detailed,
step-by-step instructions that are applicable to every situation. Instead, this manual
provides general guidelines for site construction and product installation. Review this
information carefully and adapt it as needed to your installation requirements.
The instructions in this section describe how to prepare a dedicated home theater for a
VideoWall/CineWall installation. Throughout these instructions, the following “typical”
conditions are assumed:
• Ceiling Height: 8 feet
• Stud spacing: 24 inches
EL
IM
IN
A
R
• Screen position:
Y
• Theater Width: 12 feet, minimum
• VideoWall VW-100HD – Centered vertically between floor and ceiling (bottom edge
of screen approximately 24 inches from floor)
• CineWall CW-95HD – Bottom edge of screen approximately 36 inches from floor
• Centered horizontally between two studs 96 inches apart
• Supported from below by either three (if 24 inches apart) or five (if 16 inches apart)
studs, cut down 1.5 in. and with a 2x6 x 88.75 in. stud nailed to the tops
PR
Construct a dedicated, framed wall: Shown below is a typical wall frame, viewed from
the rear. It is 12 feet wide, with the studs spaced 24 inches apart. The shaded area
represents the opening you will need to create for the VideoWall/CineWall.
For maintenance purposes, provide some means of accessing the rear of the
VideoWall/CineWall when installed. If the theater is greater than 12 feet wide, the gap
between the side walls and the dedicated wall edges may be sufficient. Otherwise, you will
need to create a second opening at one end of the dedicated wall for maintenance
access.

Color Balancing the
VideoWall/CineWall
What does Color Balance do? Color balancing is the process of ensuring that whites
appear truly white and grays appear truly gray, without any trace of color.
Displays differ from one another because of very small differences in the color of the light
produced by the lamp and by differences in the dyes used to make the color in a DLP™
optical engine.
Although it may be possible to achieve satisfactory results using the
naked eye, it is recommended that you use a computer-based color
analyzer (Sencore ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor,
or equivalent), hand-held colorimeter or ISF optical comparator to
color balance the VideoWall/CineWall. For more information, visit
http://www.isfcalibration.com/Intro.htm.
EL
IM
IN
A
R
Y
Tip
In color balancing, you use the display’s internal test patterns of white, first, then gray. The
internal pattern assures that a pure white is used.
1. Turn on the VideoWall/CineWall and let it warm up for at least five minutes. The lamp
must be thoroughly warm before you color balance.
2. Press MENU on the remote control and enter the Installer Menu passcode. To obtain
this passcode, contact Runco Technical Support.
3. Select Advanced Options from the Main Menu.
4. Select Color Balance from the Advanced Options menu.
5. Set Gamma at the bottom of the menu to either Video or Film.
6. Set the Color Temperature to 6500K.
PR
7. Set White Boost to Off.
8. Set Test Pattern to White.
Note
Always use the internal Test Patterns for color balancing, not an
external pattern.
9. Look at the Color Balance values. All the White Balance (Gain) values should be 100,
and all the Gray Balance (Offset) values should be 8. If they are not, select Reset to
Defaults and press ENTER. This is where you should always start color balancing.
10. Stand far enough away from the screen so you are looking almost squarely at it. Pay
attention to the large central area, not the edges.
11. Using an optical comparator or other D6500 reference – or a color analyzer – adjust
the White Balance values either individually or together (using the “All” slider) to
achieve a neutral, D6500 white point.
12. Set Test Pattern to Gray.
13. The gray values range from 0 to 15, and they are all now set at 8. Adjust them up or
down as needed to eliminate any trace of color from the test pattern.
14. When you have finished color balancing, set Test Pattern to None.

The VideoWall/CineWall has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration
standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed
carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation
technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input
separately. The source picture is not always optimal in its size or strength; it does not
always conform exactly to a standard. The VideoWall/CineWall provides numerous
controls to compensate for this.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best
results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test
DVD or equivalent.
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and hue (tint) adjustments.
(Alternatively, you can use the Blue Only option in the Input Levels menu.)
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Computer sources vary greatly from computer to computer and even between video
outputs on the same video card. Video sources vary more. Use the Input Levels controls
to make the VideoWall/CineWall respond correctly to these non-standard sources.
Note
Input Levels and Color Balance (described on page 34) do not
affect each other, but they both affect the final picture.
What does Input Level do? For analog computer sources, adjusting to the computer’s
picture output means determining what that computer means by “black” and “white.”
Y
Black is supposed to be a voltage of zero coming from the computer’s video card, but it
almost never is. White is supposed to be a voltage of 0.7 volts, but it usually isn’t either.
For best results, use a white field coming from the computer you
will use with the VideoWall/CineWall.

The Input Level adjustment process asks you to provide an all-white picture from the
computer. By doing so, you can quickly and automatically make the display “learn” what
this computer means by black and white. The result is good pictures, using all the
dynamic range of color coming from the computer.

The best way to adjust levels is the semi-automatic method.
Adjusting levels semi-automatically: This is quick and easy if you can get a black
picture and a white picture from the source computer.
1. Display a white picture from the source. This must come from the computer
source that will be used for the program. It does no good to use your laptop for
this adjustment, then connect to a different computer for the program. Nor can you
use the VideoWall/CineWall internal white test pattern.
Make a white screen using the Windows® Paint program.

What is a “completely” new source? The VideoWall/CineWall remembers all the values
in the last 10 pictures. If a new picture comes from a different source, such as from a
different computer, and that picture has almost exactly the same resolution, number of
active lines, number of blanking lines et cetera, the VideoWall/CineWall assumes that this
is a source it has seen before and use the remembered setup values. This is a different
sort of memory from the 40 numbered memories described in Memory on page 106.
On the other hand, if the new source is sufficiently different, the VideoWall/CineWall will
engage all the checked processes in the Auto Setup Options menu (described on
page 114).
When a saved memory is recalled from the Recall menu, the VideoWall/CineWall does not
do any auto setup.
When to re-adjust levels: You should re-adjust black and white levels whenever:
• the computer is changed;
• the video card in the computer is changed, or you switch the source to a different video
card output in the same computer;
• you replace the electronics module.
Adjusting to computer sources manually: In the unlikely event that you need to adjust
input levels manually, proceed as follows:
PR
1. Display an all-black picture from the source computer.
2. Press MENU on the remote.
3. Select Picture and press ENTER.
4. Select Input Levels and press the
button.
5. Select Black Level (Offset) and adjust it up or down with the +/– keys to make the
three CENTER POINT values go to zero. If they do not all touch zero at the same time,
use the individual colors under Black Level (Offset) to adjust them.
Note
Do not go beyond the point where the Minimum just goes to zero.
The idea is to just touch the zero level.
6. Display an all-white picture from the source computer.
7. Select White Level (Gain) and adjust the levels until the CENTER POINT values just
touch 255, adjusting the individual colors as necessary.

Recalling a Memory
Using ISF Memories: Four memory slots are reserved for use by ISF-certified
technicians. These are named “Day,” “Night,” “Custom 1” and “Custom 2.”
The ISF Memories are functionally similar to the other, numbered memory slots (described
below), but provide some additional useful capabilities:
• The ISF Memories can be recalled by pressing a single button on the remote control, or
via the ISF Memories menu. You do not need to enter a menu passcode or use the
Memory menu (although it is possible to recall them this way).
• The “Custom 1” and “Custom 2” ISF Memories can be saved to – or their contents
deleted – via the ISF Memories menu. You do not need to enter a menu passcode or
use the Memory menu (although it is possible to save to or delete them this way).

recalled. The other, numbered memory slots are recalled only on command.

If you change sources (switch to another input) and then switch back, everything you
did before is “recalled.” Things will look like they did before.
Suppose you make adjustments to an SVGA source on the Analog input and save the
settings. Then, you feed a UXGA source to the Analog input, make new adjustments
and save the settings again. Then you switch to the S-Video input and do some more
setup for it.
Later you switch to the Analog input again, and this time it has the SVGA source from
before. The VideoWall/CineWall will recognize that it has seen this source before, or at
least a source with these characteristics, and will recall the ISF memory slot with the
SVGA settings you established before.
Manually saving to memory slots: Some saving is done automatically, but there are
big advantages to saving your work manually.

Cleaning
Dirt is everywhere, and unless the VideoWall/CineWall is in a super-clean room, from time

Cleaning products and how to use them: For mirrors and screens, a foam spray
cleaner works well. It is sold under different names in different parts of the world. It is
available from many janitor supply companies or building maintenance supply companies.
Ask for Claire #50 glass cleaner, or Sprayway #50 glass cleaner. It is probably sold under
a local name, but it all comes from one company. If you ask for either of the two names
above (it is sold under both), you will get this cleaner under the local name.
This cleaner contains no ammonia and works well on glass (screens, lenses, mirrors) and
acrylic (screens). Spray it on the mirror, but not on the screen. For screens, spray it on
the cloth, not the screen.
WARNING
DO NOT wipe the inside of the screen for any reason. This can
cause immediate and permanent damage to the screen.
PR
WARNING
DO NOT spray liquid of any kind on the screen. It can drip down
the screen and wick up between the layers. When liquid gets
between the screen layers, it is impossible to remove, and the screen
is ruined!
Wipe the mirror or screen gently with a lint-free cloth or lint-free paper (refer to Cloth to
use, below). Turn the cloth over to the dry side and continue wiping to take up the haze.
• Glass Wax™ is another good cleaner for mirrors and glass screens, but it does not
work well on acrylic screens. It is a liquid in a can. You spread it on, let it dry, then wipe
it off.
• Windex™ works well, too. Just don’t spray it on the screen.
Cloth to use: White cotton cloth is better for cleaning than colored cloth. The dyes in
some colored cloth tend to make it less absorbent.
Paper towels tend to leave lint and are therefore not recommended for cleaning lenses. A
better paper towel for cleaning is Scott® Shop Towels. These blue, lint free, paper towels
are widely available at auto parts stores, home improvement stores and hardware stores.
Cheesecloth is another good choice. This open-weave cotton material is light and
absorbent.
VideoWall™/CineWall™ Installer/Integrator Manual

Cleaning the Screen,
Mirrors and Lens
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Removing dry dust: Often the cleaning problem is just dust, not fingerprints or other oily
dirt. If it’s just dust, wiping with a dry cheesecloth or a dry Shop Towel will usually do the
job.
Or use one of the cleaning products designed specifically for picking up dust.
• Pledge Grab-It™, from Johnson
• Swiffer™, from Proctor and Gamble.
These are synthetic wipes that have a static charge that holds onto dust. They do a very
good job of picking up dust and leaving no lint behind. However, they will not wipe away
grease or oil, such as fingerprints, and they can’t be used with liquid cleaners.
EL
IM
IN
A
R
Y
Cleaning lenses: Clean lenses as you would the glass mirrors. Use a soft, absorbent
cotton cloth rather than a paper towel. Because the lens is small, it is easier to spray the
cleaner (if you use one) on the cloth, not the lens itself.
Where is the dirt? ➤
When you see dirt in the picture, you can sometimes tell where it is by its focus. Use a
white test pattern to see the dirt most easily.
Small specs of dirt or dust that are in very sharp focus are on the screen itself.
If the dirt is in soft focus, it is probably a smudge on the large mirror.
PR
Dirt on the output lens cannot be seen in the picture. However, that does not mean you
should not clean this lens. Dirt here will reduce the brightness of the picture, but it won’t
show up as specs in the picture.

Resetting Lamp Hours ➤
ALWAYS reset the lamp hours to zero when you install a new lamp. To do this:
1. Turn on the VideoWall/CineWall using the remote control.
2. Press MENU on the remote control and select Diagnostics from the Main Menu.
3. Select Hours from the Diagnostics menu, highlight Reset Lamp Hours and press
ENTER.
How to Maintain Lamp ➤
Life
There are some actions that can shorten lamp life:
• Turning off AC power when the lamp is on. (Turn off the lamp with the remote and let it
cool until the fans stop; then turn off AC.)
PR
• Turning a lamp on and off rapidly. (The lamp should be allowed to heat up fully before
turning it off, at least three minutes.)
4.3
Filter Replacement
Clean, cool air is essential for proper VideoWall/CineWall operation.
When the air filter gets dirty, change it. Unfortunately, there is no absolute rule about
when to change an air filter. For some installations the environment has clean, dust-free
air, in which case the air filter may be good for a year or more.
In other environments, the air full of dust and dirt all the time. The air filter might have to be
changed every month. Of course, it also depends on how many hours per day or per
week the lamp is on.
Determining a Changing ➤
Schedule
Remove and inspect the air filter after three months of operation. Make a note of the air
filter’s condition. Check it again after six months of operation.
These two inspections will give you some idea of how often the filter needs changing. If it
doesn’t need changing after six months, inspect it again in a year. As long as the
environment doesn’t change, you can build an appropriate schedule in this way.
If new construction occurs in the vicinity of the VideoWall/CineWall, beware; new
construction usually means DUST.
Removing the Air Filter ➤
1. Open the screen.
2. Turn off the AC power switch and remove the power cord.
3. Lift the air filter up and toward you. Then, replace it with a new one (Runco part
number 379-0012-00).

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The VideoWall/CineWall provides several features for identifying and resolving product
performance issues. If the solutions suggested here fail to resolve your issue or if you
encounter an issue not described, please contact Runco Technical Support.
The On-Screen code is a sequence of red and amber lights that flash on the screen to
indicate what is wrong. These flashing lights are particularly helpful when the lamp won’t
turn on.
Turning on the On-Screen Codes: To view the On-Screen codes, do one of the
following:
Y
• Select Unit Status from the Diagnostics menu.
EL
IM
IN
A
R
• On the remote control, press and hold the ISF NIGHT button while simultaneouly
pressing the MENU button. (Use this method if the lamp won’t turn on.)
You should see the red or amber lights flashing on the screen. You should also see the
Unit Status menu, unless of course the lamp is off.
If the picture is bright, it may be difficult to see these lights. They are soft, out of focus
lights. Move around to see them. Or, send the RS-232 command CURTAIN to make the
screen black so they will be easier to see. (For more information on RS-232 commands,
refer to Serial Communications on page 57.)
If you see a steady, unblinking, amber light, it means the lamp is on and there are no alarm
conditions. If the screen is black at this time, it could be for any of the following reasons:
• The curtain is on and black.
• The source itself is a black picture.
• There is no source, which turns the screen black.
PR
• There is some foreign object blocking the light path.
Automatic On-Screen code display: If Auto Codes is checked in the Miscellaneous
Options menu, the code appears whenever there is a fault event that forces the lamp off.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Isolating Faulty Parts ➤
If you suspect that a part may be faulty, replace it with a known-good one if available. This
is a very effective way to find a problem. If the problem goes away, the original part was at
fault.
If the problem persists, you haven’t found the problem yet, but you have learned
something: the original part was not the problem. Re-install it and try something else.
If the Lamp Won’t Light: Check to make sure the lamp is actually not lit. If the lamp is
lit, you can usually see light come through spaces between parts if you look carefully.
Many things can make the screen black, even though the lamp is lit:
• The Curtain may be on. If the curtain is black and it is on, the screen will be black.
Y
• There is no source picture. With no valid picture coming in, the display will be black.
• There is something blocking the light to the screen. Is the lens cap on?
EL
IM
IN
A
R
• There are parts missing in the optical path. If someone was working on the display,
maybe he or she forgot to put something back in.
If the lamp is not lit:
• The VideoWall/CineWall may not be receiving AC power. Check the main AC switch on
the display. It should be lit.
• The lamp ballast may not be receiving power. Some displays have a green LED near
the main AC switch that lights when the 380-volt part of the power supply is working. It
should be lit. Other displays may have an LED on the electronics module to show when
this high voltage power is available.
PR
WARNING
Always turn off the AC power and remove the power cord before
working inside the display and before removing a lamp.
• If the lamp is OK, try swapping the ballast in the same way. The lamp ballast provides
power to the lamp. It is an electronic part, and all electronic parts are eventually subject
to failure.
• A fan may have failed. Most fans are sensed. That means the electronics module
knows whether they are running or not. If they don’t run when they should, the
electronics module turns off the lamp and prevents it from striking (turning on) again.
Swapping other parts: You can swap electronics modules or fans in the same way to
see if one is bad.
Note
When you swap fans, always exchange fans of the same size.
Why not use a new part out of the box? It may seem like a good idea to take a new
part out of the box and substitute it for a suspected part in the display. However, there is
a very tiny chance that the part in the box doesn’t work. If you test a part by putting in a
known good part, you get better information.

5. Serial Communications
To interface the VideoWall/CineWall with a home theater automation/control system or a
PC running terminal emulation software:
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-6.

RS-232 Connection
and Port Configuration
2. Press MENU on the remote control and enter the Installer Menu passcode.
4. Select Serial Port Settings from the Advanced Options menu.
EL
IM
IN
A
R
5. Note the Baud Rate setting; change it if desired.
Y
3. Select Advanced Options from the Main Menu.
6. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.
7. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to match that of the VideoWall/CineWall
RS-232 port (see Step 5).
8. To test your serial connection, type ky 00 menu and press <Enter>. If the Main
Menu appears on-screen, the connection is active and working correctly. The
VideoWall/CineWall also responds with ACK in the terminal session window.
Here are some basic rules for composing serial commands:
• RS232 commands consist of a string of ASCII characters.
PR
• All numeric values are decimal; you do not need to use hex or binary digits in the
commands.
• Spaces or tabs may be used in the commands to separate the parts and make them
easier for humans to read. This “white space” is ignored by the command reader in the
VideoWall/CineWall.
• You cannot use commas, slashes, or other punctuation as separators. Periods have a
special purpose in commands.
• Commands are not case sensitive, so you can use upper and lower case letters as you
wish, EXCEPT the first two letters of every command must be both upper or both lower
case. After that, it doesn’t matter.
• When a command requires a response, wait for the response before sending another
command to another display.
• All commands must end with a carriage return character, shown as <code>[CR] in the
rest of this document. Depending on your serial communications program, commands
may automatically be ended with a <code>[CR]. If you are uncertain whether your
application automatically does this, send a test command such as ky 00 menu
without a <code>[CR]. If the menu displays on screen, you will not need to insert a
<code>[CR]. If nothing happens, you will need to add a <code>[CR] at the end of each
command.

How to Form
Commands
Serial Communications
5.3
Types of Commands
The VideoWall/CineWall supports two types of commands: key commands and operation
commands.
Key Commands ➤
Operation Commands ➤
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. This is only useful if you
can see the screen, otherwise you won’t know where the selector is in the menu.
Operation commands tell the display exactly what to do, allowing more flexible and direct
control of the display. For example, with operation commands, you can:
• Set green in the white color balance to 27
Y
• Turn off the lamp
EL
IM
IN
A
R
• Save the current settings into memory slot 23
• Recall memory slot 7
Operation commands can ask questions and get answers, such as:
• What is the state of the lamp? (on, off, failed, etc.)
• Is the Auto Lamp feature on or off?
• Which connector is used if memory slot 3 is recalled?
String Commands ➤
String commands send strings of characters to the display. String commands can also
retrieve information from the display. For instance,
ST 00 BUILD.DATE? <code>[CR]
returns the build date of the firmware:
ST 00 BUILD.DATE= "SEP 17 2008 at 17:41:49"
PR
5.4
Addresses in
Commands
All commands must be addressed. Each display has a two-character ID that is unique to
it. The two characters can be 0 - 9, A - Z. The first character is the Group ID, and the
second one is the Unit ID. The default Group ID and Unit ID are both 0. When
communicating with only one display, it is not necessary to change either ID.
Note
Whenever a command is sent to an individual ID, wait for the
response before sending a second command.
You can also use the “wild card” character (**) to address a display.
Direct Addressing ➤
There is another way to address displays: direct addressing. When the address is two
hyphens ( -- ), the first connected display receives and executes the command.
Direct addressing is handy when you want to control a display, but you don’t know its ID.
Just connect a serial cable straight to the display and use direct addressing.
58
VideoWall™/CineWall™ Installer/Integrator Manual
Serial Communications
5.5
Command Structure
All commands start with two letters:
OP or op for operations commands (but not Op or oP)
KY or ky for key commands (but not Ky or kY)
ST or st for string commands (but not St or sT)
The next two characters are the address.
Y
The next section of the command is the operation, the remote key, or the string, the main
part of the command telling the display what to do.
EL
IM
IN
A
R
A few commands have a ‘target.’ For example, to adjust white balance, you must state
which color to change: red, green, blue, or all. Or to determine whether a memory slot is
empty, you must target the memory slot number. The target is always in
(parentheses).
The next character is the command function symbol.
There are five function symbols:
Operations Control Commands

Makes the unit take that value.
Get

Asks what the current value is.
Increment
+
Decrement
-
Execute
PR
Set
(none)
Adds 1 to the current value.
Subtracts 1 from the current value.
Performs an action such as a reset.
The command type can be one of 5 functions:
• Some commands are Execute only, such as resetting the lamp hours.
• Others are Set and Get only, such as setting the curtain pattern or asking what the
curtain pattern is.
• Some are Get only, such as getting the horizontal frequency of the source.
• And some are Set, Get, Increment, Decrement, such as color balance.
• The last part of the command, for Set commands only, is the value. The value may be
a number or one or two words.

never words.
Text values can be sent in upper or lower case or with mixed case. They are listed in
UPPER CASE in the table to make it easier to see the difference between the value and

[varies] means the range of acceptable values and replies varies with the type of source.
PR
Reading the Response ➤
Two commands establish the features of the replies. (Remember the displays only reply
when individually addressed.)
ascii.eol determines the End Of Line character the display will send at the end of
every command.
ascii.response determines how you want the replies to look when they come
back to you.
• Symbolic means the replies will come back as ascii characters, if the value column
allows them.
• Numeric means that the Value Number will come back
• Data means that only the value is returned, not the preceding information

Recalling Memories ➤
Remember: The slot target number used in the command is one less than the memory
slot number as seen in the menus. For example, to recall memory slot #40, in commands
you’d specify slot.target = 39. Likewise, to recall the first slot, you’d specify
slot.target = 0.

op 1* auto.lamp = on [CR]
turns on the auto lamp feature for each display
that has a Group ID of 1 (and any Unit ID).
op 0* auto.lamp ? [CR]
won’t work. All queries [ ? ] must be
addressed to individual displays only; no
asterisks [ * ] in the command line.

op 00 auto.lamp ? [CR]
Note: The command line must always end with a carriage return character ([CR]). The
VideoWall/CineWall will not act on the command unless the last character is a carriage return
character (ascii hex value: 0D).
Types of Responses ➤
Responses from the display can be Symbolic (mostly text), Numeric (mostly numbers), or
Data Only. Whenever a command is sent to an individual ID, wait for the response before
sending a second command.
Table 5-2. Symbolic Response Examples
PR
Command and Response
Examples
Explanation
op 50 auto.lamp ? [CR]
would get the Symbolic response
OP 50 AUTO.LAMP=DISABLE
Text in responses are all caps, regardless of what you
sent.
Table 5-3. Numeric Response Examples
Command and Response
Examples
Explanation
op 50 auto.lamp ? [CR]
would get the Numeric response
OP 50 1037=0
Notice that you can send commands as text and get the
response as numeric. 1037 is the Operation Number for
auto.lamp, and 0 means Disabled. It works the other
way, too. Ask the question with all numbers and get a text
response, if ascii.response is set to Symbolic.

Table 5-4. Data-Only Response Examples
Command and Respond
Examples
Explanation
would get the Data-Only response
0
You get only the answer and only in numeric form.
This is used mainly when a sequence of commands
is sent and the data is acted upon by the program.
For instance, the program might query each display
as to its lamp state, on or off, then send a Lamp On
command to just those displays that are off.
Keep in mind that displays only respond when they are individually
addressed.

Use the controls in the Picture menu to calibrate your VideoWall/CineWall for optimum
picture quality. To access the Picture menu, press MENU, highlight Picture and press
ENTER.
To adjust a setting, use the
or
button to highlight it and press ENTER. Use the
or
button to change the setting.
The Picture menu has different items depending on the current source type. You cannot
adjust Frequency in Digital pictures, so that item is not in the Picture menu when the
selected source is HDMI or Digital.
PR
You cannot adjust Horizontal Frequency for VGA or Component sources, because that is
determined by the source, so it is grayed out.
In the Source line, the left-right keys choose the source. Other items can be adjusted if
they are not grayed out.

, select the source you want and
Sync Type: This line indicates whether the source outputs separate horizontal and
vertical sync signals, a single, composite sync signal or a “sync-on-green” signal. In most
cases, the Sync Type is Separate H&V.
Vertical Frequency/Horizontal Frequency/Pixel Frequency: These lines indicate the
Vertical Frequency, Horizontal Frequency and Pixel Frequency of the incoming signal.
Horizontal Resolution/Vertical Resolution: These lines indicate the Horizontal
Resolution and Vertical Resolution of the incoming signal.
Phase: This control adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming
signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or Component image still shows shimmer or
“noise.”
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external
test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 6-2. Adjust as needed,
looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines
in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate
them.

Miscellaneous Options: Select Miscellaneous Options from the Advanced Options
menu to enable or disable the following settings:
• Beeper: Beeper makes the VideoWall/CineWall make a chirping sound each time a
remote control button is pressed (and received by the VideoWall/CineWall). The display
always beeps three times when you press a button that tells the VideoWall/CineWall to
do something it can’t do, such as turn on the lamps when they are already on.
• Curtain Pattern: Curtain Pattern chooses what appears on the screen when the
VideoWall/CineWall receives the serial command op ** curtain (refer to page 75).
The choices are Black, Logo, White, Red, Green or Blue.
• Auto Codes: Auto Codes causes the VideoWall/CineWall to start flashing the On
Screen Codes whenever an event causes the lamps to go out, such as a fan failure.
PR
• EDID (Plug and Play): Plug and Play enables the Extended Display Identification Data
(EDID) that is used by many computers to determine the capabilities of the monitor.
This is a complicated standard, and not all video card drivers and operating systems
act the same. If you are having trouble getting your video card to output a picture when
connected to the VideoWall/CineWall, try disabling Plug and Play and rebooting the
computer, to see if it acts any better. Normally, Plug and Play should be enabled.
• Preferred Source Detection: Preferred Source Detection tells the
VideoWall/CineWall which aspect ratio to use when the incoming signal may have
several choices. For instance, 1024x768 and 1366x768 have similar signal timings, and
the VideoWall/CineWall might choose the wrong one. If you application sometimes has
1024x768 but never 1366x768, set this control for 4x3.
• Native Frequency/Allow Frame Lock: Select Native Frequency from the
Miscellaneous Options menu to choose the DLP frame rate when the
VideoWall/CineWall is not frame-locked to a source.
It takes a few seconds for the VideoWall/CineWall to change between frequencies, so if
you are using it with 50-Hz sources primarily or exclusively, set the Native Frequency to
50 Hz. Likewise, set it to 60 Hz if most or all of your sources are 60 Hz. Doing so can
reduce the time it takes to switch inputs.
When Allow Frame Lock is enabled, the VideoWall/CineWall DLP frame rate is exactly
matched to the frame rate of the incoming source. This helps ensure smooth panning
of the input signal with no dropped or repeated frames.
Only sources between 48 Hz and 60 Hz are frame-locked. If a source is not
frame-locked, the DLP frame rate will be the selected “Native Frequency” (50 Hz or
60 Hz).

Lamp Settings: Select Lamp Settings from the Advanced Options menu to enable or
disable the following settings:
• Auto Lamp On: Auto Lamp On makes the lamp turn on soon after AC power is
applied. The VideoWall/CineWall must always go through its initialization and
sometimes wait for the lamp to cool.
• Lamp Saver/Lamp Saver Timeout: Lamp Saver causes the lamp to turn off if there
is no source for the specified Lamp Saver Timeout period. When a valid source is
re-acquired, the lamp turns on again. When the lamp turns off, it must cool down. If the
source is acquired during this cool-down period, the lamp will turn on after the
cool-down period.
Y
The Lamp Saver Timeout value ranges from 5 minutes to 24 hours.

Serial Port Settings: Select Serial Port Settings from the Advanced Options menu to
view or change the following serial communication parameters.
For more information on serial communications, refer to Serial Communications on
page 57.
• Group ID / Unit ID: Group ID and Unit ID combine to make the two-character ID for
the display. The range of each is 0-9 and A-Z.
ASCII Response Type and ASCII Response Terminator control the format of the
responses to RS-232 commands the VideoWall/CineWall receives, as follows:
• ASCII Response Type: ASCII Response Type determines how you want the replies to
look when they come back to you. Choose one of the following:
• Symbolic means the replies will come back as ASCII characters, if the value column
allows them.
• Numeric means that the Value Number will come back. Both of these will be
preceded by the full string you sent.
PR
• Data Only means that only the value is returned, not the preceding information.
For example, if you send op 00 curtain.pattern ? [CR]
and the current Curtain Pattern setting is “Green,” the VideoWall/CineWall responds as
follows:
OP 00 CURTAIN.PATTERN=GREEN (ASCII Response Type = Symbolic)
OP 00 1036=4 (ASCII Response Type = Numeric)
4 (ASCII Response Type = Data Only)
Note
Replies are always in ALL CAPS, regardless of how the query was
sent.
• ASCII Response Terminator: ASCII Response Terminator determines the End Of
Line character the display sends at the end of every command. The correct setting for
your installation depends on what program you use to send commands and receive
replies.
